CATCHPHRASE
“Divine Logic”
1) Used in all types of sects and denominations, twisting Scripture and hoodwinking church members into obeying the teachers every whim and fancy.
“We derive the meaning of this passage of scripture using divine logic.”
Think about it:
God’s Ekklesia is
NEVER “DISMISSED!”
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
Proverbs 20:9
See the truth come to life!
THIS WEEK'S
"The Pastoral Office"
“The Lord’s Supper is for members of the local institutional church.”
We don’t start our Christian lives by working out our faith for ourselves. It is mediated to us by Christian tradition, by sermons, books and already established patterns of church life and fellowship.
Then, we read our Bibles in the light of what we have learned from these sources. We approach Scripture with our minds already made up by the mass of accepted opinions and viewpoints with which we have come into contact, in both “the church” and the world.
It’s very easy to be unaware that this has all happened. It’s hard even to begin to realize how profoundly tradition and already established forms and thinking has molded us.
But we are forbidden to become enslaved to human tradition, forms, and teachings, either secular or Christian, whether it be “catholic” tradition, or “critical” tradition, or “ecumenical” tradition, or “reformed” tradition. We may never assume the complete rightness of our own established ways of thought and practice and excuse ourselves the duty of testing, proving, and then changing them by Scriptures. J. I. Packer
How will you know when your so-called “bible teachers” depart
from Scripture?
